Korean rapper B.I (real name Kim Hanbin) will be going to the Philippines to hold an event in August.
“PH and SG IDs save the date! Ticketing Information will be released soon!! Are you ready?” Three Angles Production posted on Twitter on June 12.
According to the company, B.I will hold an event in Singapore on Aug. 7 and Manila on Aug. 27.
This will be B.I’s first event in Manila as a solo artist. In November 2018, iKON including B.I held their first concert in the Philippines.
They came back to the Philippines in February 2019 and performed at the launching of the Samsung Galaxy S10 in the country.
Last January, B.I performed on Grammys’ Globan Spin, “a performance series spotlighting artists from around the world.”
He was the first Korean artist to perform on Global Spin, which features “a performance from a notable artist or group and will celebrate both the creators and their home countries.”
B.I performed “Nineteen’ on the Jan. 4 edition on Global Spin, which was released on Grammys’ YouTube channel.
“Illumined by city lights and festooned with bling, South Korean singer/songwriter B.I performs with panache. In the latest episode of Global Spin, a performance series spotlighting global music and international artists, the 25-year-old displays charisma and stage presence beyond his years while performing his song ‘Nineteen,’” according to Grammy.com.
It added, “By the chorus, he envisages himself as a ‘bird thrown into a cloud,’ which takes on added weight as he performs before a jaw-dropping vista, with fluorescence reflected on a body of water.”
